Not that long ago, Microsoft’s Games with gold service for Xbox Live was considered to be a bit of a joke, with the games Microsoft offering frequently being bottom of the barrel- something that made them look even poorer compared to the then excellent offerings that Sony used to make on PS+.
However, over the last few months, the tables have now changed, with Microsoft putting in the effort to make Games With Gold more attractive to subscribers, while PS+ has gotten steadily less appealing over time. And this month’s Games with Gold offering is another strong showing from Microsoft, making another compelling case for Xbox owners to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold.
On offer this month for the Xbox One are Ubisoft’s The Crew, their open world racing MMO; also available will be Goat Simulator. In addition, Xbox 360 players get XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Super Meat Boy, both of which will also be available to Xbox one players thanks to the console’s backwards compatibility.
It’s a very strong month- and I am having a very hard time seeing Sony top this with PS+.
